Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow emission with a decaying magnetic field
In models for gamma ray burst afterglows, it is normally assumed that the external shock strongly amplifies the magnetic field and that this field maintains a steady value throughout the shocked region. We discuss the effects of modifying this (probably simplistic) assumption. The observations are incompatible with a post-shock field that decays too rapidly. However if the field pervaded only a...
متن کاملConstraining The Magnetic Field in Gamma Ray Burst Blast Waves
We point out that already existing literature on relativistic collisionless MHD shocks show that the parameter σ ≡ upstream proper magnetic energy density/upstream rest mass energy density, plays an important role in determining the structure and accelerating properties of such shocks. By adopting the value of σ ≈ 0.002 which corresponds to the relativistic shock associated with the Crab nebula...
متن کاملFlat Spectrum Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows
Temporal behaviour of GRB afterglow light curve is derived for the case where the electron energy distribution is relatively hard, with the power-law index p lying between 1.0 and 2.0. It is shown that the expected behaviour will be the same as that for p > 2.0 if the upper cutoff in the electron energy distribution evolves in direct proportion to the bulk Lorentz factor of the blast wave.
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Extended, fading emissions in multi-wavelength are observed following Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Recent broadband observational campaigns led by the Swift Observatory reveal rich features of these GRB afterglows. Here we review the latest observational progress and discuss the theoretical implications for understanding the central engine, composition, and geometric configuration of GRB jets, as w...
متن کاملGamma-ray burst models.
I consider various possibilities for making gamma-ray bursts, particularly from close binaries. In addition to the much-studied neutron star+neutron star and black hole+neutron star cases usually considered good candidates for short-duration bursts, there are also other possibilities. In particular, neutron star+massive white dwarf has several desirable features. These systems are likely to pro...
